      I believe in ‘aliens’ if we are talking simply about living things outside of our planet. I can’t imagine if these things might exist as intelligent living things like humans (or some other totally different form), but there are so many mysteries that we still do not know about the universe that in my opinion, it would be silly to claim with certainty that Earth is the only planet with life on it.

      This isn’t my specialist subject, but I agree with Elena! I think it’s very likely that there are other organisms living on other planets elsewhere in the universe, but they might be very simple things like bacteria — not complicated “intelligent” creatures like the aliens you sometimes see in films. But of course there’s so much we don’t know about the rest of our universe — there might also be more complicated, intelligent aliens, in all kinds of different forms (human-like or otherwise). We just don’t know!
